[ooc: I got the go ahead for this from Vicky, so this is for Fay.]
The one time Mitch decided to sit out and relax on the front porch after training also happened to be the day he found Sal's letter. It had been such a nice day up until then; clear skies, birds chirping, not having to deal with annoying people... it was all good.
"DAMNIT!" He stuffed the letter into his pocket before he could burn it, then rushed inside (laptop left in the kitchen) to leave an emergency message for Henry before going back outside to wait. It wouldn't be long - Henry was together with Eileen, presumably in love with her. The usually quiet photographer would definitely hurry. He knew Sal firsthand.
Mitch also went to look to see if there had been signs of a struggle. All the while, he gritted his teeth and fidgeted with a nervous energy, little flames sparking up every now and then around him.
